This one makes more sense cause your genitals are by default very sensitive to pain. So your body pumps out a bunch of hormones during arousal so sex doesn’t feel like beating up your bits.

Its a lot of just world fallacy too

Here’s a good article on it for anyone interested: https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/ (article starts after the horizontal break)

Same amount of characters too

Reading speed is not equivalent to code review speed in the slightest! A good case study: https://static0.smartbear.co/support/media/resources/cc/book/code-review-cisco-case-study.pdf Tl;dr the ideal rate of code review is something like 300 lines per hour.

As someone who writes software for a living, these tools are simply nowhere near as good as a seasoned developer in terms of code quality. Getting them to write code at that level takes so much babysitting and tweaking that it is faster to just write it by hand. If you are not a full-time developer and are just writing some code on the side here and there, then yes, an LLM will probably do a better job. And thats ok! I’ve used them plenty and thought about this a lot as well. So I don’t say this out of denial. But, at least for now, they are nowhere near a good as someone who knows what they are doing if you account for quality, and not just how fast the machine can spit out lines.

I mean I still prefer writing code by hand and I still write higher quality code faster by hand than others on my team who use LLMs to write code for them. Writing good, production intent, software is not about wpm, nor is more code necessarily better. Concision (as long as it doesn’t sacrifice readability) is a virtue.

And you can be manipulated, too.

I mean it does make some things more difficult, but its more of a speed bump than a barrier. And a lot of the time decently attractive people will convince themselves they’re ugly cause it helps justify their inaction.

Idk, p sure North Korea is more propagandized, misinformed, and manipulated. Not to say shit isn’t bad here. But at least there is some resistance to it. Mamdani didn’t get elected because people are ok with just sleeping through it, after all. Sure, it might be too little, too late. But we have at least a fighting chance still.

And square drive!

The one on the right is actually “Pozidriv” (PZ), which is a little better than regular Phillips at least.

If it comes from the factory with such pronounced corners, chances are its a Phillips/Square drive combo. In which case you can use a square drive bit which will drive it without slipping (IIRC square drive has similarly high torque before cam-out as torx). There are a ton of different kinds of screw drives though, the phillips-adjacent ones are under cruciform here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screw_drives

I gotta level the playing field for everyone else somehow

*Concrete with rebar. Roman concrete has lasted plenty long. Though the lime in it helps.

Its the new american dream!

Its what let the Holocaust happen too

I mean might be related to writing and the printing press being two of the most important inventions in history, if I had to hazard a guess. Transfer of knowledge through books was a complete gamechanger for humanity.

I think there is a distinction between responsibility and blame. I don’t think blame is easy to assign here, but responsibility is, the parents are responsible. Doesn’t really change anything after the fact, but I also wouldn’t say that the idea of personal responsibility is a fallacy. But just saying that people should be more responsible doesn’t actually change the situation, you’re right.
